@N76247476Man This is incorrect. Gas prices always reflect the replacement cost of the fuel in the tanks not the actual cost of the fuel being sold.
We paid higher rates for less expensive gas. They filled their tanks with the sale revenue & are now resupplying cheaper. They're profiteering
the older i get, the more i realize hummel was the hero of this story. i also love how womack, despite tearing up mason's pardon, looks back at his superiors in horror after learning what the red sea trading company was
Ok let's do a thought experiment.
Iran was VERY close to building multiple nuclear warheads with missiles that could reach Europe.
This is a fact and if you find that acceptable, raise your hand.
Ok, so assuming we cannot allow that, Trump had no choice but to attack and take out their nuclear capability while also causing $1 trillion in damage to their military complex.
A complex that took 47 years to build up and which they will not rebuild in a month as some claim.
So here we are. We did what had to be done. The world was heading for an oil crisis with the Strait of Hormuz closed.
What were we to do next?
A ground invasion?
Not happening.
Destroy their infrastructure?
Not happening.
Let gas go to $8 a gallon causing a global recession?
Not happening.
What's left?
Make a deal that prevents Iran from ever becoming a threat to Middle East again. So what if that means unfreezing assets? We froze them as leverage so that Iran would not be a threat. Now they aren't.
A peaceful Middle East will cause massive economic growth.
If individuals want to invest in a now peaceful Iran, fine. A prosperous Iran filled with foreign influence is a good thing.
The people complaining about this have no strategic vision.
Luckily for us, Trump does.
I know it's not popular to say this, but Trump's Iran deal is brilliant. No nukes, Strait reopened, US economy soars. Iran has path forward - if they behave. If not, boom, we resume military and econ punishment. https://t.co/CX3NAzCaqI
Trump and the US MIL just:
-Deleted Iran’s Air Force and Navy
-Killed their leadership, generals, and radical religious clergymen
-Reset the flow of global energy
-Made them surrender their uranium
All without putting boots on the ground, and Xi and Putin sat back and watched.
Anyone saying that Trump or the US MIL lost, is not to be taken seriously in any capacity. We didn’t just win, we completely obliterated them, made them cry uncle, and give us what we want, and the American taxpayer will pay them absolutely nothing, all within a short period of time, without boots on the ground.
We didn’t just win, this is arguably the most impressive military campaign in world history. Anyone saying otherwise is either dumb or a propagandist desperate to contain Trump’s victory.
@BuzzPatterson I think his response is appropriate from Israel.
It's a warning to any of the Iranian proxies that may attack. He/Israel are not bound by the agreement; they can & will defend themselves, including a preemptive strike if needed
